This manual contains important information concerning the installation, operation and maintenance of the Solidsvac Pump, Model SV70-SP. To prevent injury to personnel or equipment damage, this manual MUST be read and understood by those responsible for the installation, operation and maintenance of the equipment.
Note: Always position hoses out of walkways where possible remaining aware of trip and fall hazards. CONTENTS EXCLUDED FOR PUMPING Solidsvac recommends that any contents that fall within the scope of the below class liquids should not be pumped with any Solidsvac unit. Solidsvac also recommends that a site-specific JSA should be conducted with reference to any other type of material being pumped.
7. MAINTENANCE In use, the Solidsvac SV70-SP requires little to no maintenance, however Solidsvac recommends that the following strict measures are taken to ensure the pump remains in good working order for as long as possible. Maintenance, repairs and the disassembling of the unit can be carried out by any qualified Fitter with a basic knowledge of pneumatics. SERVICE TIPS Clean the machine areas before removing pneumatic components.

Valves not sealing correctly because of contaminants Some combination of the above causes A combined drop in flow rate and pressure will affect the power requirements of a pneumatic machine, especially in mobile applications, where the speed of the prime mover will have to increase to meet system demand. Generally, compressors powered by electric motors cannot increase revolution speed to provide greater flow rate. Pneumatic motor performance is affected by a drop in power (torque and speed capabilities). Actuators convert pneumatic energy back into mechanical energy. It is here that lack of flow and pressure instigates the fault- finding process. Jerky cylinder and motor movements are unacceptable and the combination of these pneumatic faults results in a machine’s power performance dropping. The problem MUST be solved to ensure efficient operation. www.solidsvac.com page 9...

STEP 5: LIST THE POSSIBLE CAUSES - Once the fault has been located and recognised, list the possible causes – starting with the simplest. STEP 6: REACH A CONCLUSION - Use a troubleshooting chart to check the list of possible causes; then decide which is the most likely. telephone +61 456 000 665 email info@solidsvac.com page 10...

A general visual inspection of the unit including the suction and discharge valves is recommended. A small metal gauze in-line filter prevents foreign objects entering the venturi nozzle via the air supply line. Solidsvac Pumps recommend periodic inspection and cleaning as required, replacement filters and seals are available from your Solidsvac suppliers. EXHAUST BOX If fitted, Solidsvac Pumps also recommend a periodic visual inspection of the exhaust box be carried out. With the air supply off and isolated, remove the pump cover. - V isually check the exhaust opening and if it appears blocked, either flush the box with a hose, alternatively, remove the 4 cap screws in the side cover.

The objective of the hazard identification and risk review process is to ensure all hazards are identified and accurately assessed for risk. Suitable and effective controls MUST be nominated and implemented to keep workplace safe. CONTEXT: The Solidsvac Mobile Solids Pumps are designed to be used for the purpose of pumping and transferring heavy slurry/media. The Solidsvac Mobile Solids Pump will be in a stationary position on the floor. The floor conditions need to be safe and level. SCOPE: The Scope of the risk assessment as follows:...
